Humphrey Bogart’s 16 Gangster Movies, Ranked Worst To Best

Humphrey Bogart got his start in Hollywood with a string of tough guy roles in gangster movies, some of which rank higher than others in terms of their quality. Before he started playing the hero in films such as The Maltese Falcon and The African Queen, Bogart was an out-and-out villain. Most of his movies from this era don’t live up to his high standards, but some are undeniable film noir classics. Bogart always had the talent to shine in his movies, even if the script and the overall quality were lacking, and his ability to play both romantic leads and brutal criminals is the reason he remains so popular.
